Meet Dr. Grant Muller: Expert Head & Neck Surgeon at West Cancer Center
We’re excited to introduce Dr. Grant Muller, our Head & Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgeon at West Cancer Center & Research Institute. Dr. Muller brings advanced expertise in treating both benign and cancerous conditions of the head and neck, including minimally invasive and reconstructive surgical techniques that restore both function and appearance.
We’ve put together a series of videos where Dr. Muller shares his approach, specialties, and the cutting-edge care available to patients here at West.
1. Introduction to Dr. Grant Muller
In this video, learn about Dr. Muller’s background, training, and why he chose to bring his expertise to West Cancer Center. He discusses his specialties in head and neck cancer, microvascular reconstruction, and general ENT care, as well as how our multidisciplinary approach ensures patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care under one roof.
2. What Is Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS)?
Dr. Muller explains TORS, a minimally invasive surgical technique for removing benign or cancerous growths in the throat. By performing surgery entirely through the mouth, patients avoid external incisions, scars, and many of the long-term side effects associated with traditional surgery.
3. HPV-Associated Head & Neck Cancer and Treatment Options
HPV-related head and neck cancers are on the rise, and Dr. Muller explains the importance of understanding treatment options. With TORS, surgeons can remove tumors precisely and often reduce or avoid the need for radiation or chemotherapy, while still maintaining strong survival outcomes and minimizing long-term side effects.
4. Microvascular Reconstruction Surgery
After removing cancerous tissue, patients may need reconstructive surgery to restore form and function. Dr. Muller explains how free flap reconstruction uses tissue from other parts of the body to rebuild areas like the jaw, mouth lining, or neck skin. He also highlights tools like virtual surgical planning, which allow for the best cosmetic and functional outcomes, ensuring patients maintain their appearance and quality of life.
At West Cancer Center, Dr. Muller and our team of specialists work together to provide innovative, patient-centered care for head and neck conditions. These videos are a great way to get to know Dr. Muller and understand how his expertise can help patients heal, regain function, and live well after treatment.
